...HOSPITAL IN BOSTON lies a baby girl who was born before her time -- three months early, weighing less than 3 lbs. Her tiny body is entangled in a maze of wires and tubes that monitor her vital signs and bring her food and medicine. Every so often she shakes uncontrollably for a few moments -- a legacy of the nerve-system damage that occurred when she suffered a shortfall of blood and oxygen just before birth.

A popular artist can sing in Brussels on Monday, Paris on Tuesday and Chicago on Thursday, and by the time Chicago rolls around, audiences often feel they are presented with a raspy voice and an unfocused characterization. Many veterans monitor their travel schedules as closely as their repertory. Rysanek arrives in a city two weeks before she is scheduled to sing. Kraus warns that if you sing in two cities on successive days, "your subconscious is working in both places, and it's too busy...
